You have obviously not worked for a start-up tech company, or a tech company attempting to grow rapidly. I have and do. It's also my opinion that engineers are grossly underpaid and the management is grossly overpaid in terms of stock options. Engineers are ultimatly what make the product work properly. Management produces promises and expectations, but don't contribute much to the product. And in my years of working with many corporate customers the bottom line is really product performance. Engineers are what make product. Under startup and high growth circumstances, everybody from the janitor to the CEO has to pitch in and be sort of a jack of all trades and not be afraid to do things that aren't in their job description. And you don't have the luxury of a bottomless well of capital because every spare penny has to go into making your quarterly expectations.
